I usually prefer to read children’s books but this book was a one-off find - bought for 20p whilst on a course! Perhaps only appropriate for our 14-19 readers…
‘Footsteps’ is a love story set in Edwardian Suffolk. When Helena Mayrick is asked to research a book on her grandfather, the painter Hubert Donaldson, she hesitates to agree, not only because the relationship between Donaldson and her grandmother is shrouded in mystery, but also because she is mourning her husband's tragic death during a hiking accident on a school trip.
As the two mysterious stories slowly unravel together, it is uncertain whether the happy family life that Helena thought that she, her husband and daughter enjoyed was all a lie, as another woman appears in the shadows…
This story is a sad realization that things are not always as they seem, and that mourning can lead to devastating events, previously well-hidden, to become uncovered.
